Ruthie Rabinovitch

As Program Assistant, Ruthie comes to UpStart with a passion for community building, social impact, and innovation, and she supports programming for our National Accelerator and regional hubs.

Ruthie previously served as Program Coordinator of UpStart’s Colorado Teen Fellowship, which supports teens’ development of innovative and socially impactful ventures and teaches them about Design Thinking through a Jewish lens. Prior to joining the UpStart family, Ruthie studied psychology and music at Colorado College, where she created a peer mentor program to support transfer students in their social and academic transitions to the school and found herself engaging in Design Thinking and Human-Centered Design before she had even knew the names of the models!

Originally from Los Angeles, Ruthie now loves living in Denver, attending concerts, and appreciating Colorado’s beautiful but quickly melting snow.
